Zafaron Afghan Cuisine is a new cooperative catering business specializing in delicious traditional Afghan dishes. The cooperative was formed in April 2020 with our help, and, after waiting out the Covid19 pandemic, they are out of the house and into your next party, event, or community market. Zafaron was founded by Haida, Mastoorah, Nafisa, and Zermina, all expert cooks with varied professional experience back in their native Afghanistan.  Circumstances made them have to leave their homeland, and you may have read or watched their story being told by Real Time Interventions.
